Today is the perfect example of one of those days where you are grateful that you own a raincoat. If you don't live in England, then it might not be raining...but if you do, and you don't have a waterproof jacket, you will be getting wet.
Take advantage of the reduced prices across our North Face range, find yourself a quality jacket to keep you bone dry in times like these. North Face jackets are so versatile that you can wear them hiking, climbing, cycling, running or simply for your commute to work or as your go to jacket to go out in. Comfortable, practical and timeless, everyone should invest in one in their life time.
If you're looking find a layer to stay warm underneath the rain shells why not pair up a jacket with some North Face mid-layers?
If you're sick of hearing about the rain, check out this video of Alex Honnold, a North Face athlete free solo-ing (climbing without a rope) El Sendero Luminoso (2500 feet) in Mexico .

If you haven't come across the 2014/2015 ISPO GOLD award winner for backpacks in the ski category: Snowmule Backpacks before, your ski holidays are about to get a whole lot more simple and tantrum free.
Snowmules offer an innovative way to tow young kids on flat areas and allows for hands free carrying of skis, poles, helmets, gloves and more. Have a look at the showreel below to see all the technical highlights.
After spending a significant amount of time in a shop
tirelessly trying on the half size up and down to make the best fitting
decision before sticking to one and getting it heat moulded to the shape of
your feet - you've got the right fitting socks and by now you've used your
boots enough times to safely say that you should have broken them in by now…yet that same ache accompanied by pins and needles makes an appearance halfway down
the slope each time?
If this doesn’t sound familiar to you, consider yourself one
of the lucky ones. For the rest of us, the reason for this could be due to your boots not adequately supporting the natural shape of the arches in your feet and therefore leading over-exertion which can cause aches and pains.
The good news is, this can easily be remedied with Superfeet insoles.
Without getting too technical, pronation is the way your
foot rolls inward when you walk. Some people have a neutral pronation whilst
others overpronate or underpronate.
Overpronators, also known as individuals with 'flat feet' will find their ankle rolling inwards when striking the floor. These will generally need more stabilising and supportive insoles.
Underpronators usually have high arches and their feet will tend to roll outwards more than inward when their foot strikes the floor. They will generally get along better with neutral cushioned shoes.
One way to tell which foot type you have is to look at the
shoes you wear most often, the side that wears the fastest could be an
indication.
Alternatively, when you step out of the shower and leave a footprint
on your bath mat you can compare it to the above image to get an idea of what type of foot you have.
Both over and under pronators are likely to experience muscle pains when running or doing other sports. Getting the right supports for your feet can alleviate a significant amount of pain, this of course applies to snowboarding as well. Have a look at our selection of Superfeet insoles, there are ones for each type of foot: low to medium arches, medium to high arches, and even merino wool lined ones for increased warmth and insulation.
These arch supporting insoles by Superfeet can make all the difference to your day out on the slopes - definitely worth a shot if you suffer from aches from an otherwise perfect boot!
